Descrição: Asking who "really" speaks and acts for indigenous people is an increasingly important political question in Latin America. This article explores how an "unlikely" Evangelical Protestant Indian organization (FEINE, the Ecuadorian Evangelical Indigenous Federation) and a seemingly more "authentic" Bolivian indigenous federation of communities claiming pre-Columbian authority structures (CONAMAQ, the National Council of Markas and Ayllus of Qollasuyo) have grown in representational strength, or the ability to convince others that they speak for specific constituencies. Through this historically and ethnographically based comparative political study, I argue that indigenous representation is produced across scales, both from "below" (as communities and leaders organize and mobilize) as well as from "above" (as elites and opportunity structures favor some groups over others). FEINE and CONAMAQ present mirror images of the ways in which indigenous people negotiate local-global networks and discourses: FEINE Indianized Protestant Evangelicalism while CONAMAQ transnationalized local ayllu authority structures. This multi-scale analysis suggests that how Indians are spoken about transnationally shapes who gets to speak for Indians locally. /// Entender quien "realmente" representa a los pueblos indígenas de América Latina es cada vez más importante. Este artículo explora la creciente representatividad de una federación "sorprendente" de indígenas evangélicos (FEINE, Consejo de Pueblos y Organizaciones Indígenas Evangé licos del Ecuador) y una federación aparentemente más "auténtica" de unidades pre-colombinas (CONAMAQ, Consejo Nacional de Ayllus y Markas del Qollasuyo). A través de un estudio histó rico, etnográfico y comparado, argumento que la representación indígena se construye en mú ltiples escalas: desde abajo (en la organización y movilización de comunidades y dirigentes) y desde arriba (en la manera que las estructuras de oportunidad polí tica favorecen a algunos actores y no a otros). FEINE y CONAMQ representan casos inversos de las maneras en que actores indígenas negocian redes y discursos locales-globales: FEINE "indianizó" el protestantismo evangélico mientras que CONAMAQ "globalizó" las estructuras de autoridades locales de los ayllus. Este análisis, a múltiples escalas, sugiere que cómo se habla de la indianidad en redes transnacionales condiciona quién habla por los indígenas en espacios locales.
